Re: [TenTec] OMNI VII Comparison Test

Rick

I am interested in the results of the S-meter test since this has been one 
of the on-going problems with Orion II, however the chart on the website 
link you posted is not showing up.  I looked for it with Internet Explorer 7 
as well as Firefox, but it did not display.  Is there any other place this 
is posted where I might be able to see it?
Thanks,
